A young South Roscommon student has raised hundreds of euro for cancer research, putting his body, and hair, on the line to do it. Sixteen-year-old Matthew Parker from Toberdan, Lecarrow, has almost €2,000 of a €5,000 goal raised for the Irish Cancer Society. “Cancer has affected me in my life, and I just wanted to do something to help,” said Matthew, who plans to study medicine after secondary school. He also plans to run 5km, and should he reach his €5,000 goal he will get an Irish Cancer Society daffodil flower tattoo. To donate visit Matthew’s ‘Fundraising for Irish Cancer Society’ GoFundMe page.
